The version below – but a little brighter

Looking at this image with fresh eyes this morning rather than towards midnight last night – it looked to dark overall, so brightened it up a bit.

This is a composite image showing the Leo Trio region.  Hyperstar III data taken on 21st March 2010 has been combined with older Hyperstar 1/H9C (2-frames) data from much earlier.  The composite was created using the powerful registering program Registar.

The Rosette nebula reprocessed using the proper procedure in Registar.

The same final process twiddles carried out on the Registar composite image of the Monkey Head nebula

Carried out some final (?) processing twiddles on the Rosette composite – think it’s just about there now

Handled the old data slightly differently in this Registar composite reprocess.

Here is a 4-frame mosaic of the Pleiades taken with the original Hyperstar lens assembly (on a C11) with a tiny little H9C one-shot colour camera.  Also happens to be one of my all-time favourite images.

Here is a wide-field composite image of M78 and its relation to Barnard’s Loop taken using both Sky90 and Hyperstar I data.

Another deep-sky image from the NFO archives, and another original Hyperstar/H9C composition.  This time the Cave nebula in Cepheus.  I recall the tracking was so good on this one that I actually got some vertical banding where the tracking error was well within 1-pixel for the whole imaging session.  Not sure why it was quite so good that time, something to do with where I was imaging in the sky as well as several other things all working together with me for a change, but I never managed to repeat the precision tracking with this system afterwards

Another old image from the New Forest Observatory taken with the original Hyperstar and a little SXV H9C one-shot colour camera (1.4 megapixels only!).  The camera was highly sensitive and I regret selling it when I bought the APS-sized chip M25C.  This image of M78 was taken using just two hours of total imaging time showing the enormous speed (f#1.85) of the original Hyperstar.
